Special Education

At Firm Foundations Academy we recognize that all students learn differently and display a variety of strengths and learning needs.  If it is determined that a student displays the need for additional services, we work to meet his or her needs on an individual basis. Following the appropriate testing, our team will meet together to determine the best course of action to promote student success. This may reflect how we approach academics, behavior modification, or teaching social skills. When we have determined which needs to address, your child will be assigned to a tutor or placed in an Educational Therapy program. The tutor/therapist will be in charge of student advocacy within our program. While working within this program students will receive direct instruction in their area of need on both Tuesdays and Thursdays.  All students will be mainstreamed, or attend classes with their peers. Classroom teachers will be mindful of your child's learning style and appropriate modifications will be made to promote student success. It is our goal that your child gains confidence and competence while attending our program.
